1971 Map of Chandler Lake D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Anaktuvuk River and Nanushuk River define this remote North Slope landscape, flowing through a region dominated by dramatic high-altitude features. Rising between the river systems, Rooftop Ridge and the nearby Racetrack Basin illustrate the complex topography of the central Brooks Range foothills. To the south, Kayak Mountain stands as a prominent landmark above the waters of Sitchiak Lake. This 1971 survey captures the area at a time when accessibility was limited to specialized transit, as evidenced by the mapped Winter Road and Winter Trail. These seasonal routes represent the primary human infrastructure in a landscape otherwise shaped by natural drainages like Willow Creek and the steep elevation changes at Twin Bluffs. The map provides a detailed record of these ephemeral transport corridors before modern development altered arctic logistics.
